I wrote that in quite a hurry. :) 

Yes, using the command "mount -o rw --ro" mounts a filesystem read-only,
when I use it from a running system. From the initrd, it apparently
mounts the fs read-write.

I have mkinitrd-3.4.42-1.

I don't think that makes any difference. I didn't build the kernel, I
just installed the binary one with apt-get upgrade.

And as I said earlier, I modified the image by mounting it, making the
changes, and umounting it. I didn't use mkinitrd for that.

(If I forgot to mention it earlier, I'm running RH9.)

With the new kernel I can enable ACPI, and I think my problems running X
with DRI enabled are also gone. 

One problem has emerged. After running apt-get update, apt-get upgrade
reports this error:

Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  alsa-kernel-2.4.20-20.1.caps.rh90: Depends: kernel-version (=
2.4.20-20.1.caps.rh90)
                                     Depends: kernel-version-arch (=
2.4.20-20.1.caps.rh90-i686)
  planetccrma-core-redhat: Depends: kernel-version-arch (=
2.4.20-20.1.caps.rh90-i686)
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

I guess this could have been triggered by me not running apt-get update
before I did the dist-upgrade (I had updated a few days before that,
though).

Any idea what I should do? I don't use the 2.4.20 kernel, so I could
just remove those packages?
